I won't repeat again how trash is pistol for Ele. I would like to focus a sec on the fact that you don't play your own game. And I have proof of it. Everyone kindly pointed out to fix the bullets UI as they are not visible on screen. I would have expected a bullet symbol above Each 4 attunements on the left similar to the dots mesmer has for blades to indicate that the attunement had a bullet... ...but no... YOU GAVE US BUFFS ICONS LOOOOOL. It's clear you devs don't play the game or you would know how the buffs area is already infested with Icons and unreadable, not to mention when the icons go below the minimap and gets hidden completely. I personally feel offended by the poor choices (we are not stupid) and the degradation of quality we keep having on the game.

Does devs ever play a Guild Wars 2? Cause honestly I don't really think they do. Everyone kindly pointed out to fix the bullets UI as they are not visible on screen. I would have expected a bullet symbol above Each 4 attunements on the left similar to the dots mesmer has for blades to indicate that the attunement had a bullet... ...but no... THEY GAVE US BUFFS ICONS LOOOOOL. with the hundred of icons we have already on the right side of the bar they put the bullets there 🤣🤣🤣 gg Anet that's high quality work. Seriously is that how you guys work? Are you trying to save on UX designers? I mean this is so logic that wouldn't even require a UX designer. Do you ever play your own game? Have u ever noticed how the buffs get pushed under the minimap even on big screens due to how many icons we have already there? Not to mention how trash and without any creativity is pistol itself as weapon for Ele. I'm just... I don't know... I just i give up, that's enough.

Anet is a joke. Another trash weapon for Ele. To make you understand what kind of studio they are: everyone said to fix the bullet UI as they were not visible. I would have expected a bullet symbol over Each 4 attunements on the left similar to the dots mesmer has for blades to indicate that the attunement had a bullet... ...but no... THEY GAVE US BUFFS ICONS LOOOOOL. with the hundred of icons we have already on the right side of the bar they out the bullets there 🤣🤣🤣 gg Anet that's high quality work.

Nothing just that. Wish I could have that fluid interesting fun playstyle with Ele without the need to be a 20 years old fresh top performing super attentive player. At least give one, ONE Ele spec that doesn't require much skill to use please. You did it for engi you can do it for Ele too. Almost 40 now, I was in my 20s when GW1 was the game 🤣 my mind is not that fresh anymore especially after work 😭

Can we have some nice visual effects please? Compared to other classes Ele doesn't feel magical at all. I would like to see more of the elements we control on the screen. Other classes got new cool visual effects.

Look at it like this: you shouldn't care what others have, it's more convenient for everyone so also for you. I have many legendaries and tbh it's all about utility. The legendary skin becomes boring over the years and we have many non legendaries skins that looks so cool as well. So I believe leggies are more about QoL that the look itself tbh. When your gear will be everything at legendary level you will understand this.

Hehe come on mate be nice, we had gen1 leggys for 9 years to enjoy, let also others especially new players to enjoy. The only thing I wish we could do would be to exchange the old leggy armor for the looks of the new ones really (yes looking at you medium armor 👀).

To be honest GW2 is probably the only surviving MMO NCSoft has in the west. They make money mostly with mobile games nowadays, GW is a very little piece of the revenue cake so they won't invest huge money in it. Still I think Anet is managing to do kind of a good job releasing new content to the game despite the low budget. Obviously they are not so good in making classes and balance, which I don't really understand why as gw1 had hundreds of different skills for EACH class, and still PvP and balance was so much better. NCSoft is really trying to make new mmos but kind of failing at it (see the throne and liberty disaster) so I believe they will just focus on mobile games for the future. Anet is the only studio that produced a unique and long lasting mmo owned by ncsoft, but I feel like they are keeping it open to do us a favour more than for the revenue. I believe as far as gw makes that little revenue enough to pay staff and stay in the positive it will keep going, but as soon as it goes in loss it might get shutdown. Dunno i really hope I'm wrong i love gw since 2007 and it's very dear to my heart.

Hi, just finished the bit with Scruffy where we are sent down below to test the recollector's 3 skills. After I exit the instance none of the NPC talks to me anymore and I cannot continue the story. The story step is Emotional Release and the green task says "Return to the survace to discuss the experiementation results". I have tried to relog, to change char, to exit the map and re-enter. I noticed I didn't download everything but only enough for the game to be playable, so i waited to download everything but nothing changed. I have also tried to quit the story chapter and then clicked to continue but didn't work. I tried to do the same again but in another map not in Gyala but nothing. I am just stuck. EDIT: restarted the whole story with a new character, I didn't see major bugs that interrupted the story, but at the end, I could NOT speak with Canach at the club. So I guess I am not gonna see the story ending for now. I will wait a couple of day to see if they fix the whole thing really and play something else meanwhile.

UE5, next gen mmos, etc etc.... still casting spells standing still XD no thanks! and by the way the graphic of GW2 to me is timeless, it's a peculiar style that does not aim to be photorealistic as these mmos you mention, gw2 has it's own unique style that doesn't suffer time in my opinion. The only critique I can make about gw2 graphic is the optimization, they should work on that and activate maybe multiprocessor or other ways to make the engine less CPU intensive.

Hammer needs 1200 range and hurricane bigger aoe ☺️ Don't worry, not gonna happen I know

I'm intrigued by the fact we won't get new elite specs but this new system they will add will make more combinations possible and please build rafters... What this system could this be? Omg is it secondary profession like gw1? 😲😲😲

We need effects toggles for legendaries. I would love to remove the bifrost projectile effect as on Ele the normal skills looks better 😁

I think most people doesn't know the arborstone arena exists. It's very hidden really

Hi Anet, Infusions are sellable, why the weapon chests from metas like Tequatl, Dragonstorm, Gyala Delves etc etc aren't? I would like to play the content I like, without being forced to do content I don't like to get these awesome skins. If these chests could be sellable i could buy them with gold, some people could even buy gems to convert to gold to get these... Think about it, it's more revenues for you ;)) Account bound era should really end...

Guys, Maclaine music is just so good, is there a way to randomize music in GW2 please? I always get the same old soundtracks grom GW1 (don't get me wrong I love them but it's since 2007 now lol) in the background but the music production for the game is so good, it's too good to be heard only in some special zones!

I give per granted that everybody knows about character model limit. that stresses even the most recent CPUs 🙂 My issue was more something that happens random and not in specifically places, as it just triggers when the intenl CPU activates the turbo boost, which is what actually creates the sudden FPS drop for several seconds. But yes ideally the setup for character model quality = lowest, character model limit = low, to see at least the 5 people in your party.

Hi Guys, after 2 years of researching (I know it's crazy) and trying literally everything, I finally found the solution that should work for anyone with an Intel processor. Have you ever noticed your FPS going from high numbers suddendly very low like 10-15fps and then again high up after some seconds? Well, I thought that was due to the actual core being switched to another one, and I thought during the switch I had that low fps, but it's not!!! The culprit is the Intel Turbo Boost Techology: "Intel Turbo Boost Technology is a way to automatically run the processor core faster than the noted frequency. The processor must work in the power, temperature, and specification limits of the thermal design power (TDP). Single and multi-threaded application performance increase.". Deactivating this will remove this problem forever. There are some different ways to do so, but the easiest one is to edit your power management and in your power profile put the Max processor state to 99%. This will prevent turbo boost to kick in as you will not reach the 100% processor usage, as that's when the turbo boost activates!!!! I hope this will be helpful, I thought to share as I was really desperate to understand and solve this issue!! Peace, Aedil EDIT: I wanted to also advise especially on laptops, use the FPS limiter to 60, it will grealy help reducing heat and mantain stable performance. Also, using d912pxy help increasing FPS (the new dx11 in GW2 works well too if you don't want to use any mod). I know many knows about this, but putting it here just in case as this post is FPS related! ❤️

To be fair I don't mind Mecha as is now. After work when my brain is totally melted is good to be able to play without getting headache. It doesn't take anything away from other classes after all. Another consideration I tought about is that it's a good class for people with certain disabilities as it allows them to be effective without pressing too many buttons, which is an idea I like. I dunno I'm for freedom for all! No one is preventing u to play any class cause Mecha exists and other classes can still be as effective when played well (not Ele that's too much, Ele needs semplification lol)

Please enlighten me. I just rage quit after that and came back only recently to check the Ele staff buffed update, so I haven't really followed gw after that, couldn't care less after 9 years of balance patches done that way.

Sorry but have u totally missed the Anet devs discord scandal? They do balance according to the classes they like/play or depending on what certain top players they talk to tell them. They don't have have a full clear vision that embraces all classes. I thought this was clear to everyone now? I mean...compare any Ele spec to Mechanist for example? Or compare warrior to guardian?

Been like this since Heart of thorns came out I think. Get used to it. Ele has not received the same love other classes received. It would need a total traits reworks at least but aint gonna happen. We've been waiting for years. What I have always done was using Ele for general pve and having fun while alone. But if party is involved and performance required I would grab another class, as almost every person Ele main in the game does. Sorry but it's the sad truth, whoever says otherwise is probably one of those 0,001% pro eles out there that force Anet to keep the class low cause otherwise it would outperform all the others in the hands of these very few people.

I'm Ele since 2012. Done all CMs, raids, etc...NEVER with Ele. I have tried, hard, never worked. I'm 37 now, I love the Ele concept but I don't really have the brain to use it in endgame, especially after a day of work. It's just too much. Other classes can do the same or better without giving me headache. I wish I could be Ele main and do everything with it. Maybe they could do a stupidly op espec for Ele like they did for engi with Mecha? I mean... You can also put Mecha skills on autoattack LOL!

Sorry I couldn't resist. I absolutely had the feeling they buffed a bit staff only cause of the Steam release and to justify the Ele class description that says "prefers ranged damage" while we all know that that is only on paper. Anet's plans for Ele have never been of a proper mage class but has always been treated for YEARS like a melee class. Steam players don't get fooled!! Ele is not a normal mage class in GW2 ^^ it's stuck with mechanics old from 2012 and never truly changed/improved. Its a fun class if u like kittening around in pve but don't expect to be effective in endgame unless you can memorize 50+ skills rotations and you can perform it while not watching skill bar cause u WILL need to dodge those aoes 🤣

Ele is good only in the hand of 0,001% of the players. Those are the ones that memorized 50+ skill rotation and can dodge/move at the same time all without looking at the skill bar. Its just strange Anet made the mage class which is one of the most popular, so hard to play for the majority of people. They buffed staff a bit for the steam release for that reason I think, instead of sit on a table and truly discuss how to make Ele a playable class at the level of others without giving us headache while playing.
